The CAD and PLM software market size was valued at USD 14.51 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 15.47 billion in 2023 to USD 26.37 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.9% during the forecast period. North America dominated the global market with a share of 33.22% in 2022.


Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software enables multi-disciplinary, geographically-dispersed teams to strategically collaborate with partners and customers using up-to-date product information. It enables organizations to distribute, centralize, secure, and automate product data by standardizing the product development process. Furthermore, PLM software consolidates data, business systems, processes, and people related to product development. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) creates 2D and 3D models of real products digitally before manufacturing and producing them. PLM software was introduced with CAD software to support product development. PLM systems are CAD systems combined with Product Data Management (PDM) modules.


Deployment in the manufacturing and automobile industries enables visual prototyping, which further enhances the automotive supply chain, 3D CAD standards, design for manufacturing, automated drawing generation, and intellectual property protection. According to Tata Power, there are numerous concerns regarding the above stated functions and CAD integrated PLM aids in improving the drawbacks of 3D CAD software. Thus, increasing use of CAD software in automotive and manufacturing industries to boost the demand for CAD and PLM software.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Limited Deployment of CAD and PLM Software in SMEs during Pandemic to Slightly Hinder Market Growth


The widespread coronavirus limited the movement of goods, services, and people globally, affecting the overall economy and industries due to worldwide lockdowns, travel restrictions, and business shutdowns. With a temporarily hindered economy, organizations' investments in technological solutions such as PLM, PDM, CAD, and many others also decreased in SMEs as they were able to develop and design solutions without PLM software. Thus, temporarily slowing down the growth rate of the market.


Driven by the negative growth across industries, such as industrial equipment, automotive, high technology, aerospace, and others, the global market was also impacted negatively. However, with continued momentum around digital transformation, the market is projected to grow significantly over the upcoming years. For instance,



  • According to an IDC report, investment in global digital transformation in 2020 reached USD 1.5 trillion, with investments from surging small businesses and large corporations.


Thus, an increase in the adoption of digital technology platforms and initiatives by governments for the digitalization amid COVID-19 pandemic is estimated to augment the CAD and PLM software demand.

Digital Twin and Digital Thread Implementation in CAD and PLM Software to Enhance Market Growth


In the digital transformation era, new data challenges have appeared, and digital threads and twins offer solutions to improve the speed of decision-making across the value chain. In this context, a digital thread is a connection of related upstream and downstream product information from multiple systems across the enterprise. Digital twin is the physical representation of physical products.


According to PTC Inc., PLM is the key driving factor for the implementation of digital thread and digital twin. The core concept of PLM software is to streamline data between various 3D CAD software, store Bill of Materials (BOM), and change history.



  • September 2020: Aras launched the Digital Twin Core solution to create and manage digital twins. The solution provides the necessary context to analyze the IoT sensor data streams for performance monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimization scenarios.


These approaches are applied in PLM to aid CAD optimization, reduce cost, and accelerate the organization’s response to latest customer needs, which aid in expanding the market size and propel growth.


DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Smart Manufacturing with the Adoption of IoT Technologies and 3D Printing/Modeling to Drive the Adoption of CAD and PLM Software


Automotive and manufacturing industries face a lot of pressure to innovate and produce high-end consumer goods while reducing product timeline. Implementation of IoT devices have improved the rate of production significantly by automating manual and hard labor processes. In 2021, IoT as a Service was implemented by 28.0% of the global industries and its key benefits include improved product designs, product quality, customer satisfaction, and manufacturing lead times. .


The software provides data stability to manufacturing industries, which enhances 3D printing modeling, productivity, and innovation, resulting in deployment of high quality, modern compliant, and quick and innovative product line-ups. It also enhances manufacturing lines by accelerating the production time and delivering real-time insights.



  • December 2022: Siemens announced deployment of Teamcenter PLM into semi-conductor manufacturing industry, which is estimated to enhance data management, quality, and revision control.


Thus, numerous manufacturing and automotive industries are implementing PLM along with CAD to enhance their business models, which is fueling market growth.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Disconnected Systems and Siloed Departments to Hamper the Market Growth


PLM technology benefits the whole product lifecycle and is expanding rapidly in areas such as manufacturing, production, engineering, quality management, and operations.


With the increasing volume of product data, the complexity increased, and many challenges arose. Developing such complex products is prone to many challenges, including data quality, product complexity, disconnected systems, processes, and others.



  • A study by Aberdeen Group shows that the most challenging factor of today's development process is disconnected systems across the enterprise. With the integration of many processes and departments, the complexity rises. This in turn hampers in maintaining data and product quality.


Large manufacturing enterprises often face objections in aiding effective collaboration amongst the distributed teams to manage CAD and other development processes.


Moreover, an unproductive way of administering product development information with multiple systems often results in development errors, extension in timeline, and poor product quality. While most large industrial companies have implemented PLM technologies by integrating CAD and enabling design management and development processes, the others lack capabilities in managing present convoluted market dynamics.


Additionally, complex upgrades and difficulty integrating with enterprise business systems are still a concern in this market.


SEGMENTATION


By Deployment Analysis


Global Surge in Integration of Cloud-based PLM Deployment and Web-based Software Hosting to Propel Growth of the Segment


Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software can be deployed via on-premise and cloud models. Cloud-based solutions are projected to dominate the market share while exhibiting the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Industrial users had privacy concerns regarding their product data; hence, cloud deployment of PLM solutions has not been drastically increased. However, lately, under cloud services, the vendors are provided with Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to host their PLM software and integrate it with CAD solutions.


According to Accenture, enterprises can avoid and reduce their total cost of ownership by 40% by migrating their business models and products to cloud infrastructure. Similarly, 80% of enterprises are utilizing multiple cloud services, including public and private data storage centers among others.


A cloud-based PLM delivers numerous benefits, including decrease in capital investments and offers scalability, while empowering smarter innovation, and accelerating product development. Dassault Systemes stated that deployment of CATIA through cloud services enables clientele enterprises to reduce management and setup costs while accelerating process development by avoiding initial infrastructure setup and investments in hi-tech computing systems. Similarly, numerous other vendors, such as Aras, Autodesk, and Siemens AG, are deploying cloud-based PLM software to enhance productivity among industries. For instance, Siemens provides Teamcenter PLM through the AWS cloud, which reduces the consumer workload by handling virtualization, servers, storage, and networking. The on-premise deployment includes management of above-stated factors with additional middleware and application deployment.
